Previous studies indicate that the occurrence of tuberous sclerosis will cause neurotransmission in brain blocked by tumors and produce abnormal discharges. In the study we used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), graph theoretical analysis (GTA) and network-based statistical (NBS) analysis to explain brain structural network alterations in TSC patients with different intellectual disability, seizure, and Neurological Severity Score.
